The Whirlpool

What happens when a lonely girl (Agathe) on vacation at Niagara Falls meets a handsome young Frenchman (Victor)? Both it turns out have somewhat dubious careers and pasts, and they quickly fall for each other. What follows is a sexually explosive love affair shot in a retro experimental style reminiscent of the 60's Nouvelle Vague-think Goddard and Truffaut. Agathe is honest and raw in her emotions, while Victor can be controlling and mean. As their romance morphs into a road trip eastward across New York State, they discover that they may in fact be made for each other. Beautiful cinematography by director Alvin Case makes the film.
